It is a gorgeous mama-to-be’s due date today, so I figured it would be a perfect time to share the Clothier Maternity session in Annapolis. We decided to photograph Jenna’s maternity session after her baby shower in mid-February. Why? Because her hair, make-up and outfit would be picture perfect (see what I did there). Plus, I would already be in Annapolis for the event. Her baby shower was at a private clubhouse right on the water, which was a beautiful backdrop for her session. After all, Jenna is all about the nautical theme so it was simply perfect (think: whale themed baby shower and nursery).

After her gorgeous party, we went out to the waterfront to begin our session. This Winter has been incredibly mild and we lucked out for the photo shoot as well. The light was overcast, which for me is a dream to shoot in, as I typically photograph in shade. We began our session with some family photos. It is hard to believe that these will be the last ones taken as a family of 3…

How cute are Mom and Christopher? This guy can’t wait for his baby brother to arrive.

Those tippy toes kill me…

Isn’t she beautiful? Simply glowing!

As a photographer, it is pretty cool to have the privilege to photograph life stages. While I did not have the opportunity to photograph Jenna and Alex’s wedding, I did get to take their engagement photos. These were also taken in Annapolis a few years ago – love coming full circle.

And a few images to document where the baby shower took place.

Now we are all just waiting on Baby Clothier’s arrival. Stay tuned, hopefully not for too much longer, for more pictures, as I also have the honor of photographing their newborn session when he arrives!
